2. That's fucked up.

[MichMary]

3. Sounds like

the truck driver was trying to beat the train.

Just heard that at least one other in the truck is in critical condition.

4. that is a real shame and I agree it likely to have been the truck driver.

RIP and may the other injured party be well cared for.

6. Context?

Not everyone has just read or watched the same thing.

7. GOP train going to a retreat hit a garbage truck.

I admit the metaphor is cringeworthy but the fact is really sad.

9. The glee in the other thread was disgustung

Some awful people in our party too, aparently. It's a tradgedy, not a joke.

10. Ok, Ill be the asshole to say it

If this isn’t a metaphor for republicans railroading working people I don’t know what is...

[MichMary]

11. Oh, please

In the first place, from the reports, the truck driver was trying to race the train to the crossing. Which makes it his fault. So the ReThugs weren't railroading anyone. (at least in this case.)

In the second place, I'm sure the truck driver's family isn't sitting around making wisecracks. I think we could all at least show a little respect.

12. Death

Yes a death.
death is sad.
Look how many will die under the Republican heath system, like my mom.
Many can be content with the Republicans ruining
Their lives or killing our family members.
I'm not and I won't cry crocodile tears.

[MichMary]

14. No "crocodile tears"

for an innocent person, who died. Okay.

13. There's a pic of the truck, taken from someone inside the train so that's very likely.

It doesn't look good.
